The Cutting Edge #2 + Virginia's View #5 Die Cuts + CASology 103: Glow

The card I am sharing today was inspired by Karolyn Loncon's fabulous inspiration for The Cutting Edge Challenge #2. The sentiment perfectly matches the dreamy quality of her watercolored cityscape.

I decided to cut a cityscape border die from black cardstock and ink a rising sun background.




None of my usual photo spots provided a great image, so I moved outside and still had problems. I want to get this in the mail, so don't have time to wait for the morning light.




These two photos give a truer view of the die cut sitting on the inked card base.




This card reminds me of a long ago art class, when we looked at similar images and were asked to identify whether we were looking at a sunrise or sunset. For my purposes, this is definitely the glow and hope of a new day and heading off to a friend needing to know things will get better.

I am also entering this card in Virginia's View Challenge #5 Die Cut and CASology Week 103: Glow.





Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
